what is out there in cedar island

[redfishtom]

seeing you guys talk about fishing cedar island made me want to ask you salty guys a question. My kid had a project on a lighthouse in nc so he picks ocracoke (SP.) we rolled a vacation into a project and took him down there, anyway, on the way to the ferry we saw all this great looking marshy water just screaming FISH, but not a soul was fishing there. this was in september, right after labor day, what lurks in all that marsh? my wife swears I looked like an addict coming out of the dt's, and she swears we almost ran off the road several times looking at all the great looking spots. is it wadeable? if We make it back down there I would like to know what I would be fishing for.
